I'd say always-on display, but thinking about it seems like having your wrist always lit up would be obnoxious even with lowered brightness. always on display is not as nice as it sounds. I had a pebble, I would be talking to people and whatever message I get shows up on the watch. Nice thing about the Apple Watch is that it only shows when I am looking at it. Personally I think that's fine. Any time I glance at it the screen immediately lights up anyway.

rum sodomy Rainbow Dash posted:Anyone have one of the keychains that has tracking so you can use your watch to ping it for a sound? Similar to find my watch, I guess, except for your keys. I've seen a few products but wondering what people thought of them. I have tile because I got a good discount off of them. I've used it twice, but I guess I don't lose things easily. You still have to be in Bluetooth range is the main caveat. Compare tile and trackr (tile has a Watch app, not sure about trackr).

Bluetooth range for an iPhone 6S to Watch S2 is really, really good. I left my watch in my 3rd floor hotel room, went down to the pool on the 1st floor, got messages the whole time. Obviously a little bit of mileage will vary, but I didn't expect it to cut through near that much.

The downside is you are reliant on good wifi (the hotel wifi here is excellent actually, which is why it worked everywhere).

I have a third party Milanese that I just wear occasionally and like it. The main thing to get used to though, is that because the magnet is decently strong, you'll suddenly attach to stuff you lean to. The one counter at work is apparently metal, so every time I lean on it when wearing the band, I suddenly jerk for a second because my drat watch band is trying to attach to the counter.

Martytoof posted:When it comes time to replace my watch I think I'll spring for the more expensive version with the tougher glass. I've had mine for, what, half a year now and I've already got scuffs on the edges of the glass. Not scratched to the point where I want to actively do something about it, but if I can avoid them then all the better. Most of mine are just bumping against walls when I walk by tight spaces, etc. I'd classify it as daily wear and tear. I can probably buff them out somehow but knowing me I'd just end up with a bigger mess. This is the same in my experience, but the more expensive Apple Watch is heavier,which was my biggest reason not to get it. I'm sure I would get used to the weight, but I like the sport more for that reason.

nerdrum posted:This is going to be a great cashgrab for the Telecoms to lease these things for 24 months at some dumb cost of like 8.99 per month. It's going to do wonders for Apple. Also traditionally, carriers will offer $50-100 off the watch with two year contract (so you pay up front). Not sure if anyone has done payment plan for a watch yet, I know Verizon hasn't yet. You'll probably see a lot of push to get the watch with iPhone purchase like how Verizon offers $xxx off an iPad with iPhone purchase. I think it could make it sell super well though. $5 a month isn't a lot. A lot of people have the objection of "oh I'm always on wifi" with iPad connections, but maybe the watch it'll be both a little cheaper and people could see the utility of sometimes not having their phone on them.

I never really use the dock apps option, but having the app switcher move vertically instead of horizontally is a much better approach. Are the new watch faces just Kaleidoscope and toy story? Kind of boring (and Trippy).

[quote="“Drastic Actions”" post="“476593128”"] It’s totally something to talk about considering that people (including myself!) have put in pre-orders for the watch, and the big feature of the device has issues. That’s also why I suspect that’s one of the reasons for the free three months of service deal going on with the carriers: Should issues like this happen at launch, at least there’s a safety net of “well, I’m not paying for it yet” while they work out the bugs, instead of just returning the watch or canceling the service. [/quote] The WiFi issue sounds like an issue that Apple can solve and will be solved pretty quickly. Honestly, it may not even matter, so far it looks like the number of people buying the cell service for the watch is going to be a smaller amount. I’m getting the same response as iPads : “eh I always have my phone.” I think the watch will sell well, but the service will be s tougher sell.

People always freak out this time of year, and then Apple eventually fixes or tweaks the issues and it's all good. Especially stuff like the LTE Watch connections should get patched quickly (major feature not working). Now, the debate on whether you need a cellular watch for $10 a month is going to go on for a while.

[quote="“Yeast”" post="“476733217”"] Decided to try my luck at the local Apple Store, but apparently they’re not stocking the Cellular models at all yet. I found that odd. Tried some carrier stores, but they don’t range Stainless at all. So online with a 4 week wait is pretty much it for now. [/quote] I def had people bring a cellular watch purchased by Apple in to get activated. So Apple could have sold our, but they def had some cellular watches. Most carrier stores got zero apple watches. Mine was lucky enough to get a handful. Probably preordering at this point is the best bet.

[quote="“rage-saq”" post="“476775274”"] End of day 3, going to pop it on the charger. 14% battery left. Usage: 6 hours, 43 minutes Standby: 2 Days, 14 Hours My S3 lasted from Saturday morning at 9am until Monday night just before midnight without any charges inbetween, only taking it off at night and using it 100% like normal. [/quote] Right, but how much of this time is cellular? I would expect the watch to make it days if the phone is nearby with Bluetooth. The bigger question is how well it does when you go away from your phone.

Endless Mike posted:Did Apple say the Siri face will use more power? I seem to recall something like that. In any case, WatchOS 4 seems to be using more battery for me (like, I'm below 50% when I go to sleep at night), and I've been using the Siri face. I'll check my watch battery tonight, but my series 2 on watchOS 4 has been equivalent battery life. I use the watch for notifications and checking the time, by end of the day i'm at 70-80%. I'm not using the Siri face, so i haven't seen a difference.

Xenomorph posted:That InStockNow site let me know that my local Apple Store got a 42mm Space Black Stainless Steel watch in. It’s secretive, but I would think Apple communicates “expected inventory” that each company should expect and when. Therefore, companies can give etas based on that plus whatever preorders have been made. And for sure, inventory is more reliable via ordering first because you have one warehouse being stocked vs stores nationwide. I would guess there is x allocation for shipping and x for stores; but none of the companies release how exactly they figure that out.

I’ll be getting the 4G watch, but it just clicked that hangouts still doesn’t have a watch app, and since I use hangouts for messaging (google voice) until they make an app or if they make one, I can’t send texts on the go, only respond from messages received. That’s assuming that all notifications from my phone, say it’s sitting at home, get forwarded to the watch. Has anyone trialed notifications from an app that has a phone app, but not a watch app, while on 4G with the watch?

Nerdrock posted:I haven't yet, but i'm 90 percent sure it'll behave the same way as it does when your phone is with you, provided your phone is still on and connected to the internet. If you absolutely depend on hangouts for communications, I'm confident in saying you're going to have a pretty bad time with this platform. It works currently with hangouts fine for receiving and responding, it’s just whether it works when the watch is away from the phone. smackfu posted:Apparently the LTE Watch gets a bunch of phone line fees so $10 quickly turns into $17. As opposed to the LTE iPad which is $12 with taxes for $10 charge. Ouch. This isn’t surprising, it would def have a 911 and other phone charges. Still sucks.

WithoutTheFezOn posted:$7 sounds high, though. Unless it’s the “split your total plan sales tax mostly evenly among all your lines” thing and the watch is a “line”. The watch has a phone number that makes calls, so very likely you’re getting hit with both the 911 fee, any other fees by state or fed Gov, plus maybe even admin fees. Hard to say, I haven’t seen a bill for one yet.

Honestly, I don’t think I’ll really need the cellular. But for now, I get half off the service, I don’t plan on upgrading my phone, so the watch will be my new device for the fall. So might as well.

When I input a watch in Verizon’s system, it asks to confirm 911 address and everything, which is why I’m betting the taxes are higher than an iPad. I’ll look for a billed watch and confirm.
